BAE

| bā | noun

Big Amygdala Energy is a neuro-psychological state characterized by exceptional emotional well-being and resilience, initially discovered by Professor Richard J. Davidson at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Professor Davidson is renowned for his pioneering research on emotions and the brain, with a prolific publication record exceeding 440 articles and 14 books. He holds a Ph.D. in Psychology from Harvard University, a longstanding faculty position, and recognition with awards such as the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the American Psychological Association and election to the National Academy of Medicine. Time magazine further honored him as one of the world's 100 most influential people in 2006.

BAEWA

| bāˈwä, bāˈwô | noun

The Big Amygdala Energy (BAE) World Alliance is a nation without borders, free from the tyranny of the TADs, and populated by individuals who share similar brain patterns. Citizens lead lives imbued with perpetual joy, devoid of anxiety, and marked by superhuman compassion. This state is attributed to the practice of neuroplastic training, which is acquired by adhering to the BAEWA method. BAEWA extends an open invitation to individuals from all backgrounds, allowing them to seek temporary visas, permanent residency, or full citizenship by successfully completing rigorous and verifiable neuroplastic training.

BAEWA method

| bāˈwä ˈmeTHəd | noun

The BAEWA method is a neuroscience-based protocol designed to enhance the neural density of your amygdala, insular cortex, and uncinate fasciculus, brain regions whose dysfunction can contribute to anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction. Citizens of BAEWA choose to embark on this training in service of the BAEWA mission.

BAEWA MISSION

| bāˈwä ˈmiSH(ə)n | noun

The BAEWA mission is to bring about a course correction to human history. The phrase “it’s not personal, it’s just business” has inadvertently led to a world run by 500 CEOs (the S&P 500) with bipolar disorder, due to undiagnosed, untreated business PTSD. The neuroscience is undeniable. These traumatized individuals are running the world’s largest public companies and we, the shareholders, have the power to heal their brains, so they can save the world.

BUSINESS ptsd

| ˈbiznəs ˈpēˈtēˈesˈdiː | medicine

A neuro-psychological condition describing the long-term effects resulting from repeated, acute events involving backstabbing and betrayal within professional environments. Typical symptoms include heightened anxiety, chronic depression, emotional burnout, and impaired workplace performance. Recent neuroscience research, including fMRI scans of business leaders’ brains, liken the neurological damage (atrophy and dysfunction of the amygdala) to the adverse psychological impact of frequent combat episodes on a soldier. Business PTSD underscores the significant toll that workplace duplicity can take on an individual's mental well-being.

Tads

| tadz | medicine

Individuals suffering from a tiny amygdala disorder; the opposite of BAE. Recent advances in neuroscience have redefined certain psychological conditions, previously seen as behavioral disorders (such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction), as consequences of specific neurological phenomena—namely, amygdala atrophy and dysfunction. These conditions are now collectively referred to as "Tiny Amygdala Disorders" within the scientific community.
